1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeCyclin E is known as a G1-S phase regulatory protein and its abnormal expression has been implicated in cellular proliferation. This study aimed to investigate the correlation of cyclin E expression with tumorigenesis of the endometrium, proliferative activity, and clinicopathological features of endometrial adenocarcinoma.

methodsImmunohistochemical staining for cyclin E in addition to cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (cdk2), Ki67, p27, and p53 was performed by the labeled streptavidin-biotin method on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues of normal endometria (20 cases), endometrial hyperplasias (20 cases), and endometrial adenocarcinomas (endometrioid type) (127 cases). Positive staining was expressed as a labeling index (LI) based on percentages of positive nuclei in tumor cells.

resultsImmunohistochemistry showed that the nuclei of the cells were positive for cyclin E. Both proliferative and secretory endometria, and endometrial hyperplasia regardless of type were negligible for cyclin E expression. The expression in normal endometrium and hyperplasia was significantly less than that in endometrial adenocarcinomas (P<0.0001). LIs of cyclin E in well-differentiated, moderately differentiated, and poorly differentiated endometrial adenocarcinomas were 31.5+/-33.3%, 37.8+/-31.9%, and 51.1+/-30.8%, respectively. Cyclin E expression increased significantly more in histological grades. The LI of cyclin E in carcinoma was positively correlated with that of cdk2, Ki67, and p53 but not with p27. The cyclin E expression was correlated with myometrial invasion and lymph-vascular space involvement, but not with FIGO stage, lymph node metastasis, coexisting endometrial hyperplasia, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and menopause.

conclusionCyclin E as a complex with cdk2 is associated with carcinogenesis and disease progression in endometrial adenocarcinoma, and might be a prognostic indicator of endometrial adenocarcinoma.
